Poshmark commercial is telling me that my stuff is just "dollar signs to be made." Well, thanks, but I'd rather have the actual dollars.

I think it’s OK for you to clear out what you don’t want — and I say that as kind of a hypocrite who also has trouble with this kind of thing. But if you’re keeping it out of some sense of obligation, it kind of cancels out the good part of having it! And you have the memory of your mom whether or not you have the china. Could you pick out a piece or two that you might actually use and donate the rest?

What I have decided is that I will actually use the cups and saucers I have, even if it's just now and again for a tiny cup of coffee. How many of us keep too much stuff for best or to display and never actually enjoy using it? I think there's something to be said for drinking from a delicate cup, eating off a beautiful plate, eating with cutlery that has a certain satisfying heft. And if I save it for a couple of times a year but break something anyway, then what was the point?
I agree. Whenever I think of it when I’m making food, I will use a vintage Pyrex bowl or my green lemon-grinder thing (I’m sorry; I am completely forgetting what it’s called!) or my very-favorite-since-I-was-little Flame Chef cobalt blue casserole dish (it’s not the one that actually belonged to my mom, but it’s the same; I scoured the earth for it after neither parent had any idea where it got to over the years). I also move my coffee from its can into a mason-type jar and I scoop it with my lovely metal scoop. Using something special for an everyday event is such a simple way to make myself happy — and feel less silly for having a lot of technically unneeded stuff.
ETA: Jadeite lemon juicer! That’s what I meant!

I know this says more about me and whatever my inexplicable issues are than it says about anyone else involved, but I just can't stand when someone comments just "yummy" under a photo of food. I hate the word "yummy" anyway, but somehow the lack of enthusiasm evidenced by the lack of punctuation and/or capitals really makes it so much worse -- if you just HAVE TO say "yummy," at least be excited about your friend's pizza or tacos! Speaking of friends, my friend finds this super-specific peeve amusing.
I'm sorry if I have mentioned this at some point over the years -- I'm sure I have.

I dislike all of the Red Bull commercials, but the one I just saw annoyed me more than usual — it’s a guy disarming a bomb. A voice (through a headset? A phone? I don’t know) tells him it’s “usually always the blue wire.”
“Usually always”?

If Adriana has low self-esteem, then she is overcompensating IMO. She comes across as arrogant much of the time
Makes sense; overcompensation is another characteristic common to low self esteem.

It seems like it came out of nowhere to me. I've been watching Scheana on the show for years and never heard her mention OCD. I guess it could've happened recently, but I don't know. She does need a storyline, as do all the cast members.
It may have come “out of nowhere” for her too. People don’t always know they have it (I didn’t); it has to be diagnosed — and in order to be diagnosed, one has to be seeing a doctor already. If someone doesn’t think there’s anything weird happening or if it’s not really interfering with their life, they may not think there’s anything even to tell a doctor. And, like I already mentioned, OCD symptoms become more pronounced in women as they age and with hormonal changes. So it would make sense that Scheana’s symptoms (obsessions and/or compulsions, and intrusive thoughts, which she specifically mentioned) appeared or increased after she had a baby. Or, if she knew and was keeping it to herself (as she had every right to do), maybe being a a parent is what prompted her to seek treatment.
An interesting thing about OCD is that an awful lot of people who don’t have it seem to believe they know all about it.
I’ve watched the show since the beginning too, but it goes without saying that I don’t know without a doubt what these people’s day-to-day lives have been for 10 years; we see only a tiny fraction, during which they all know that cameras are on them.

I am happy to say that I don't keep track of these things. Regardless, the other examples of fakeness don't prove anything to me (and again, it's not uncommon for exhibitionism to be a characteristic of low self esteem). Everyone on the show could be full of shit for all I know; I'm just saying that some of the examples don't prove it.

TY. I couldn't recall if she said Paxil, Xanax, Lexapro or whatever else there is out there...

Maybe. But she said she's taking something and isn't drinking while doing so. Like I said, I don't know. But as someone with the same issue, I don't think the way she described it was suspect. It can be a storyline and still be real. I guess I am not seeing what is not believable based on what she's said.
I only watch a couple of HW shows; are more than Kyle abstaining?

Back in the old days, we used to call it "Goth Night", but that wasn't anything close!
I'm sure they overlap, but I believe they're not the same; there are still goth nights. At least where I am. It's glorious!
QuoteI’m surprised that Bravo paid to let them sing “Happy Birthday to You.”
I think it's public domain?
Seems like Tom Sandoval starts out conversations with the others in a somewhat apologetic way, but then, when no one says "that's OK" or apologizes back, he gets all mad again and adds caveats that just exasperate everyone. Just take the "win" that they're letting you talk!
And I know the house belongs to both of them, and it's sort of nebulous as to who pays what, but if there's any way he can, he should just take the loss and go. If the pressure and stress of all of this is weighing on him so hard, maybe he can help himself to feel a bit better by getting that part of it out of the way. I mean, I'd be mad if I had to leave a place I really dug, but after a few weeks in a new place, maybe it would just feel like some of the weight is lifted.
And Tom Schwartz -- if everyone is being mean to him anyway, then just go be other Tom's friend then. Who cares?

I think, if anything, those quotes prove only hyperbole, drama, and/or mind-changing. Is everyone here the exact same way they were in previous years? I'm not and I'm also not a "faker" (for instance, I used to not feel disgusted at the idea of giving birth. Then one day, for whatever reason, I did and [happily] remained that way for the rest-of my child-bearing years. Another example, I used to eat meat and now I don't).
As for the vulva business and the like, it's not uncommon for exhibitionism to be a characteristic of low self esteem (though twerking at a party of her friends doesn't, to me, reveal hypocrisy). Or maybe some kind of therapy helped her change her attitude -- not that I think getting one's junk waxed on TV is some kind of triumph, but whatever, people change.

The new gummy bear one is definitely less enraging than the one with the businesspeople. I don't know why.

OK, COVID negative but now random fever out of the blue. Which is odd (I think?) because I’m already on antibiotics for the next few days for a dermatitis issue (also random) and because I never even have as high as 98.6! I’ll just throw on here for good measure that my doctor is still trying to get my thyroid meds just right (that was also out of the blue with no symptoms). I’M FUN! And screw 2024 so far! Bah!

Yeah, in the end, it's just easier to get a confirmation or I'll wonder all day.

This goes without saying, I'm sure, but COVID is my peeve today -- or at least the uncertainty that has come about because of it. Yesterday, I was sneezy and kind of congested, and today I am really tired. Well, the former could be many things, including that it's not at all unusual for me and that I ate some sauerkraut.* The latter may be a result of the former because I didn't sleep well. I suppose I'll take a test, but every time I've done that in the last 4 years due to feeling "off," it's been negative and then I feel dumb! (The only time I was positive, I felt fine and had no symptoms at all because I am a some kind of backwards human being.)
*Apparently, fermented foods can trigger histamine responses in some people!

Whoops, wrong thread.

Maybe she fooled Dan with some of the faux meat “crumbles” — some of them are insanely realistic! But based on the “Dan in 2 places at once” issue, I’d guess it was an error.
Jackie calling Darlene “Becky” made me laugh. Felt very old-school Jackie — like frantic and excitable but not a complete cartoon.

I feel I have to respond here that I hope those of us who are expressing...skepticism towards Scheana don't sound dismissive of what you live with. I can't speak for everyone here but to me Scheana's description of OCD is sounding remarkably similar to BH Dorit's PTSD.
I know we all respond differently, but Scheana has spent a significant amount of time travelling without her daughter. She's previously shaded Lala for having nurses and nannies (during the Randall era), implying Lala had it 'easier', not that Scheana was incapable of leaving Summer Moon (tm) in someone else's care. But the bridge too far is that Tori, who we were introduced to last night as the new "nanny"
tl:dr: I believe post-partum conditions and OCD are real. It's Scheana who I think is fake.
I don’t feel offended or anything, and, like I said, I don’t know what her deal is and she could be full of crap. That said, I didn’t think her description sounded odd at all or similar to Dorit. It actually sounded similar to me, haha!
Anyway, this is not a logical disorder so there’s not really much sense in expecting a person who has it to sound logical when explaining it to someone who doesn’t. Its symptoms often contradict other people’s impressions of us, even those who are much closer than TV watchers (for instance, my mom and dad have zero idea of mine). It’s not like Monk — well, some people are. Sometimes I am! But mostly, for me (and maybe for Scheana), it’s just looks like an outwardly normal human without any noticeable red flag that tells onlookers that there’s OCD afoot.
ETA: I don’t think that the fact that Scheana did travel/leave Summer Moon means that she’s not legitimately anxious about doing so. I deal with a similar situation all the time (and it was worse pre-COVID, when I didn’t work from home). Again, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she purposely kept it to herself for a variety of reasons, until she felt like she couldn't anymore.

This is embarrassing, but I'm getting increasingly annoyed by this trend of communication (especially beloved by people who outrank me at work):
Person: "Wiendish!"
Me: "Yes?"
Person: "Hi."
Yeah, they never have anything to ask or tell me, and there's always that obnoxious, accompanying smirk, like "I just made you think I had something to tell you, but I didn't, and I successfully wasted your time, you stupid peon".
It just strikes me as such a petty power move, and I hate how dumb it makes me look. I just need to be on my guard, I guess.
I truly don't understand this from any perspective. Are they just saying hi?

Scheana's OCD seems like a chosen storyline to me. Summer's nearly 3 so this is either the 2nd or 3rd season since her birth. Scheana seemingly had no issue traveling without her to WWHL multiple times. IMHO, she will do or say anything for attention.
Her OCD might be a storyline now to explain why she's not drinking? I don't know. It's very possible that she kept it to herself because she didn't want to sound "crazy," which she mentioned somewhere (I'm just not sure if it was the show or WWHL. Also, I thought she said that it wasn't necessarily the traveling without the baby that triggered her -- it was having someone other than family take care of her?).
Or, maybe she just thought the difficulties she was feeling would go away on their own or that they were normal issues for new moms. I can say from experience that, for some with OCD, it can take a while to realize or decide that it's not just a high-strung personality and/or random quirks that are making you feel/act a certain way, and in the meantime, we all still have to do things and go places and take care of stuff. Also, in women, OCD can become worse/more noticeable/more difficult to manage as we get older and/or when hormones do crazy shit.

Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage

But it makes no sense to say that your stuff will earn you "dollar signs." It earns dollars.
It's for anything, not only high-end stuff, so it doesn't really matter what's in your closet, and you don't send it to Poshmark; you just send it to the person who buys it -- same as Ebay.
